This is rapidly becoming an every other day blog!  I can only blame the weather, which was horrible yesterday.  The 8:30 feeding was attended by one hardy couple from Moncton visiting for a few days.  There were perhaps a half a dozen eagles in the trees.  I didn't wait for the feeding and neither did the  Moncton couple as the ice pellets were flying directly into there lenses.  However, when I returned an hour and a quarter later all the chicken was gone.

I was alone for the second feeding and only about a dozen eagles showed up.

Today was a slightly different story.  The same Moncton couple were again the only audience for the first feeding but their perseverance was rewarded by a display from about 70 eagles.  It was cold - -6 - but there was only a very light wind.  The second feeding had only five visitors but again there were 70+ eagles who put on a superb show on the ground and in the air.

I forgot to mention the other day that we had a visitor at the site from Denmark who was in Halifax for a conference.  

One of the couples today are from Kingston but newly moved from Ontario.  They had only ever seen two eagles before, so today was a treat for them.

Same times tomorrow - 8:30 and 10:30.  Two more barns get emptied tomorrow so I will be down to 6 producing barns and two of them are full of chicks not a week old.  At least one barn comes back on stream later this week with 5 more taking deliveries in the next 2 weeks.  I have a good supply on hand and I am optimistic that stocks will see us through the Eagle Watch weekends.
